I had a computer science teacher tell us last semester that at one time IBM downloaded the whole internet and then put a link on their website to the backup, but this was a long time ago when it was much smaller I guess
EDIT: what a post to go platinum on...

Yeah IBM then converted it to a .zip file and had it backed up on 3 servers just in case the internet went down for back ups

LMAO!!! I can imagine a guy putting 10'000 drives on raid because there is always insufficient space...
The one with the web symbol going in the folder. Smart. Though you would have to wait for the hard drive to load the stuf anyway.

Yeah this thread does not make me laugh either As to the above post, you would not be talking about 100TB but thousands and thousands times more.
